The southern papers begin to a^bound with articles of a violent cast and it would seem that nothing will satisfy the wild politicians ot that country, but an abasdonment Ot the -principle* which have steadily prevailed from the adoption of the constitution—the first petition ever pre

Avill'give up the old and settled interpretations of the Constitution, or the laws which they have caused to be enacted, to the visionary specu lations or idle threats of a fragment of the remaining fourth of the citizens of the United States. We disavow, from the bottom of our hearts, the shadow of a wish to oppress tli. people of the%6uth. As to the tariff, we stand prepared to shew that every article which has been protected is supplied ,tt a reduced price to thecon- —& we bluntly placethis broad proposition against all the declamation all tiu- tire au»i fury of the politicians of the south. If this proposition be founded on facts—anu they have not been contested, except in termtoo general to be grappled, whence comes the ruin and distress that some speak ol Has the demand 'or cot»on diminished, or any reduction in its quantity consumed, been cau« ed by acts of "the government? No not one p'-und on the contrary, the demand has increased} and ii a surplus Ins reduced its price, it is th» result of pi oceedirigs over which gov crnment has not, a: cannot rightfully hgve any sort of control.—We henrtily wish that cotton was at a niucl-i higher price than it —we wish that whea' had an average val in* of 150 cents per bushel, in stead cf from fifty to seventy—both being caused bv foreign demand: but ae the. acts of the United States cannot ftct the price of either abroad, we would increase the use of both by establishing manufactures and seeking new consumers at home. We say tir-w consumers for the great market the growers of grain is now in the N'*w England nate$ and in the states north ol the Potomac will soon be the greatest market for the growers of cotton.—But our present puipose is only to introduce some extracts from the {southern papers, that our readers may see the matter and manner of them

Should this communication elicit any discussion I shali be able to shavv i:s propriety, its constitutionality and its efficacy To be brie 1 and to avoid further suspense, I state it in as few words as possible. Let the next legislaturr in its 'act to raise supplies' instead of laying the usual tax of 5 cents on every hundred dollars of stock in trade, liy a tax amounting to a pro hibitioo, and provide for a remission of the tax, (except what is really intended to be collected,) by the governor in al! cases where he scall think it expedient.—The legislatuie and of course the governor, can understand that where a British invoice is produced to him the tax can be remitted, protanto, ai whore no invoice, or a northern one is produ ced it must be paid Among m«» chants in the interior all their stockis laid in at Charleston or some north ern city in such case, an invoici IVom Charleston may be allowed to save the merchant from the tax, but the production of a northern invoici will fix it upon hnn Should it be necessary to prevent these B: itish nvoices frem beiHg manufactured in iihode island, and parts uot beyond the seas, a salary ma.y be given out of the contingent fund, to a resident agent at Liverpool, who shall countersign a duplicate invoice lobe sent to the governor.

J. \V. PIBUCE, Sec\}f The Georgia Journal says—"A writer in the Charleston Courrier asserts, that application had been made to the governor of South Carolina convene the legislature of that state and it is pretty plainly intimated that the purpose of the meeting is to take measures preparatory to a secession of the slai» from the Vnwn in con sequence of the postage of the tariff bill." "A Native" in the Charleston Courier, resisting these proceedings, observes: 4I will appeal to the veracity hundreds who have heard it. whether even now it is not familiarly said in our streets,'fear

nothing

foreign na

tions will protect We have a commerce aud products to tempt them, and they have men and ships to defend us. Congress can do nothing but blockade us, and that may soon be obviated," But the Georgia Statesman, in commenting upon the proposition to call a Congress, #c says: 'The 8th section of the first article of the Constitution of the United States, says 'the Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, &c "The same section of the same article, likewise empowers that body, Ho regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several jitat(e, &C. "r "And in the last section of the same article it is specifically and em rhaticallv declared, that 'no state shall without the consent of Congress, lay any imposts, or duties on imports or exports, except what may he absolutely necessary for executing its inspt ction laws,? and that 'no state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops or ships ot war, iu time of peace, enter into any engrgement or compact with another state, or vvith a foreign power,' &.c"With these provisions of the oreat charter ot our rights staring ?hem in the face, how dare the editor* of the Southron seditiously exclaim, that the south, -in order to divert them, (the Congress of the Uni ted States.) from their nefarious pro jpcts. has exhausted every constitu tioncl means consistent with an associ ation with them in regard to commer cial intercourse, or otherwise"

What constitutional means have they exercised, in opposition to thi 'nefarious measure?' if they dignih personal abuse and mobocratic vio lence with the epithet of constitu tional means, I will willingly con rede them aM the patriotism for wh ch they so boisterously contend fT th»-v call it constitutional to vest in the minority the ruling power—if they call it constitutional to oppose an act of Congress which has been duly canvassed in all its ramifications —which, after long and profound deliberation, has passed the ordeal of both houses, aud received the assent of the chief magistrate of the Union, then, indeed, snnn* credit may be due them for a disorganizing candor but their reward will assuiedly be, the execrations of an insulted commuuity."
